Seeking "The Wisdom of the District" - Gun Rights
I just got this last night and would suggest that anyone here who wants to respond do so (they don't ask for an address to verify residency in 2nd Congressional, simply an email address): https://rigell.house.gov/forms/form/default.aspx?ID=2484
Below is what is online but I can't help but note that this poll while allowing for 2A supportive answers, certainly skews things in the other direction. IMHO, none of the four defined answers are good (and I'm including the first one in the "not good" category simply because it could certainly be used to then indicate that a 2A supporter believes that those with mental health issues or criminal backgrounds are good to go without any due process considerations or potential restrictions), though he allows for a "don't yet know" and an open-ended "have another answer" response. I myself chose to indicate that I had another answer and replied with that (detailed) response.

Since the senseless shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last year, the nation has reengaged in a spirited debate over the causes of gun violence and whether or not Congress should strengthen or increase gun laws. I am interested to hear your thoughts on legislation coming from Washington about this important subject:
( ) I disagree with any legislation that impedes any American’s ability to own a gun – regardless of their mental health or criminal history.
( ) I am strongly pro-gun, but I do believe measures should be taken to keep guns out of the hands of criminals or the mentally ill to prevent mass violence.
( ) I support universal background checks and/or an assault weapons ban, as well as other strict gun-control measures.
( ) I support the 2nd amendment as well as expanded background checks
( ) I haven’t made up my mind yet about this debate.
( ) I have another answer.
